Catholic couples, it's time to stop feeling like roommates and start thriving

Abundant

Discover the simple, spiritual framework hundreds of couples are using to build marriages anchored in Christ and full of connection, trust, and joy.

Marriages like Joseph and Mary, Joachim and Anne, Louis and Zelie Martin. Like Christ and His Church.

Here's the thing...

...we know you love your spouse and your family, but your marriage right now is just okay.

Between juggling work, keeping up with endless household chores, managing everyone's busy schedules, and meeting your children's needs, you starting feeling like convenient roommates.

The deep, meaningful conversations you use to have are now quick exchanges about what's for dinner or who's picking up the kids.

Or worse, you're rehashing the same old argument (again) -- feeling stuck in old patterns, unable to connect deeply, or caught in a cycle of misunderstandings and unmet expectations.

And honestly?

You didn't imagine it would be this way.

You thought your marriage would be a sanctuary, a place of unwavering love and support -- reflecting the love of Christ and His Church.

You want deeper intimacy, laughter, trust, excitement, a marriage your kids can see and think, "I want a marriage like that one day."

You want a union that's not just functional, but thriving, joyful and filled with a sense of purpose.

But right now, you're caught up in the daily grind.

The love that once felt effortless is buried under endless to-do lists and stress. You're stuck managing logistics, slipping into routines, and barely connecting.

But what if it could be different?

What if you could reignite that spark, rediscover each other in a way that fills your home with love and joy, and make your marriage a true reflection of Christ's love for the Church?

Not only is that reality possible, it's exactly what God has designed for you and your marriage.

And it's time.

Time to rebuild your connection so you aren't just surviving; you're thriving in a union that's anchored in Christ, overflowing with joy and trust, and filled with a lasting intimacy that makes you wake up each day feeling cherished, connected, and deeply grateful for one another.

We want that for you, too.

Which is why we created...

How this Works

We designed Abundant to make building a joyful, connected, and faith-filled marriage as simple and impactful as possible.

Each module is carefully crafted to help you strengthen your relationship step-by-step, with tools you can start using right away.

Here's how it breaks down:

Module 1: Unity

We kick off the course by injecting a Noah’s ark-sized dose of positivity and joy back into your marriage. When you’re in the trenches—exhausted, barely managing the chaos at home, and feeling disconnected from your spouse—it’s hard to remember why you even like them, let alone feel motivated to work on your marriage.

That changes inside Abundant. We’ll shift your focus from what’s wrong to what’s good, rekindling your love and reminding you why you said, “I do.” By the end of this module, you’ll feel lighter and ready to tackle your marriage challenges from a place of love, not aggravation. This is the foundation for everything else to come, and it’s really stinking fun, too.

Module 2: Sacrament

In this module, we’ll teach you the root cause of virtually every Catholic couple’s struggles, why it’s so hard to overcome, and the practical, theology-rooted solutions that make it possible for you to break out of the fruitless, broken-record cycle you’re stuck in. We’ll also introduce you to God’s blueprint for marriage—the path that leads to a St. Louis and Zélie Martin-level relationship.

This is where everything shifts. With clarity on the core challenges, you’ll get the tools to approach conflicts calmly, communicate with ease, and finally break free from repetitive, draining arguments. By the end of this module, you’ll be on the road to a marriage that is joy-filled, peaceful, and grounded in deep, lasting love—just as God intended.

Module 3: Communication

In this module, things get really fun. We’ll dive into why communication can be so tricky for married couples, then give you 5 practical, immediately actionable tools to help you talk to your spouse in a way that makes them actually listen. (Everyone is surprised by tool #4—but they end up loving it!)

You’ll also learn the two keys to avoiding fights, how to communicate effectively during disagreements, and exactly what to do after fights so you can get back on track faster. And if you’ve ever fought in front of your kids, we’ll cover how to handle that, too. By the end, you’ll feel safe enough to be vulnerable with your spouse, confident you can tackle any conflict, and reassured that disagreements won’t derail your relationship.

Module 4: Sexual Unity

This module is another crowd-pleaser because we dive into all things intimacy and sex. You’ll learn the sacred meaning of sex in marriage, the power of physical communication, and why issues in the bedroom often start elsewhere. By the end, you’ll know how to keep connected during times of abstinence, understand what’s morally allowed from a Catholic perspective, and gain conversation-starters for open, loving discussions about sex.

Module 5: Challenges

In this module, we dive deep into what you really need to understand about conflict—especially those recurring, gridlocked issues that every couple has yet never seems to fully resolve. These are the same topics that spark fights over and over, leaving you both frustrated and drained. Think: disagreements around parenting, finances, in-laws, how to do school for the kids (homeschool, hybrid, private, public), NFP, having another baby or not, whether you should move, or how to split responsibilities at home.

We’ll walk you through the one shift you have to make to stop the stalemates and the one thing that impacts every argument (that neither of you are thinking about) and how to use it to foster understanding and empathy. Then, we’ll give you our signature step-by-step process for handling any issue in marriage (yes, really) so you can approach every disagreement with calm and clarity, rather than feeling defensive or overwhelmed.

And, if that weren’t enough, we’ll also touch on supporting a suffering spouse and setting and keeping good boundaries.

Module 6: Mission

In this final module, we’ll help you take everything you’ve learned and chart an exciting course for your marriage and family life. Together, we’ll explore how to create a meaningful family culture—the kind that makes your kids think, “I want a marriage like mom and dad’s!” You’ll also learn how to build a strong community around you and embrace the goodness God has planned for your marriage. We’re not saying Jesus will turn 900 gallons of water into wine in your kitchen, but He does have incredible, abundant blessings in store for your marriage!

It has drawn us together in closeness and connectedness, where we feel like we are on the same page more than we have in a very long time!

It allowed us to find ways to communicate better, and truly listen to understand each other.

We feel so much more warmth, joy, and love!

Hi! We are Nathan and Sarah

About ten years ago, we hit a rough patch in our own marriage.

Nathan was working a job he hated. It left him drained with very little energy for our family or our marriage. We were stressed about money, fresh out of grad school, and adjusting to life in a new city.

And somewhere along the way, our marriage started to feel more like co-managers than connected, loving spouses. We found ourselves wondering, Where did the joy, the spark, and the love go?

Thankfully, Sarah recognized that something needed to change.

She signed us up for a marriage enrichment retreat, and it transformed everything. We learned powerful ways to reconnect, to laugh again, and to open ourselves to God's grace. That experience redefined our marriage, filling it with joy, trust, and a deeper love than we had ever known.

With over fifteen years of experience and three graduate degrees in philosophy and theology between us, we're here to help other Catholic couples find that same grace and transformation.

We believe every marriage has the potential to thrive, to be a true reflection of Christ's love for the Church. And our mission is to provide you with the guidance and tools to make that a reality in your life, too!

Excellent questions you might be asking

Q1: How much time does this take? We’re already so busy and stretched thin.

We hear you! We are also in the thick of raising kids, working, running kids to and from school events, participating in parish activities, and more.

That’s why we designed Abundant to be as manageable as possible, even for the busiest couples. The course is completely self-paced, and modules are accessible anytime. Each module is broken into short, actionable lessons with practical tools that take minutes a day to implement and make a lasting impact.

But what we really want you to know is that making time, even in a packed season, is the best thing you can do for your marriage. We often buy into this idea that our kids should come before anything else, and we need to devote all our time to them. Or that we’ll have time to work on our marriage later. But a broken ankle doesn’t get better if you ignore it and think, “I’ll get to it later.” Your marriage is the same. It deserves and needs your attention now. Making time is the first step.

Q2: What if my spouse isn’t interested in joining?

We hear this often, and while it can feel defeating, it’s actually a huge opportunity for growth. Abundant is designed to bring transformation, even if only one partner starts the journey. Yes, really. Often, when one person begins to change—especially with tools that encourage positivity, calm, and understanding—it inspires the other to join. We’ve seen it happen dozens of times.

Q3: What if I’m not Catholic (or my spouse isn’t)?

We have worked with MANY husbands, wives, and couples who are not Catholic. We love you and respect you!

While Abundant is completely Catholic and we don't hide or "water down" what the Catholic church teaches, non-Catholics whom we have worked with have told us that they feel very comfortable in this course. We are not here to judge your beliefs! We are here to help you open yourselves to God's grace in your marriage to find the peace and joy that he wants to give you! You will find that the course is heavily rooted in Scripture (while also drawing inspiration and insight from other sources as well!)

We would be honored to serve you and help you build the marriage you dream of on the foundation of our common faith in Christ Jesus and his Word in Scripture.

Q4: Our marriage is okay, so is this course really necessary?

Absolutely! Abundant isn’t just for struggling marriages; it’s for any couple who wants to deepen their connection and bring Christ even more fully into their relationship. Your marriage doesn’t have to be just “okay” when it can be joyful, faith-filled, and thriving. And we all know that being good stewards of our marriages means more than just addressing problems—it means nurturing and maintaining it with intention and care. You change the oil in your vehicle regularly, right? Maintaining your marriage is even more important!

Q5: What if we’ve tried other marriage programs and/or counseling but nothing’s worked long-term?

There are lots of good marriage resources out there, and certainly, counseling has an important place. This course differs from counseling in that it brings the focus to practical, faith-centered strategies for building a joyful, thriving marriage in the everyday moments. Rather than diving into past issues, Abundant helps you move forward by developing strong communication, shared goals, and habits rooted in Catholic teaching.

Note: If you’re experiencing abuse of any kind—emotional, physical, or mental—please seek help from a counselor and the appropriate authorities. Here is some information from the USCCB about how the Church stands against all forms of domestic violence, including emotional abuse, viewing domestic abuse as both sinful and often criminal, and encourages those affected to seek help and support.

Q6: What if we need extra support during the course?

Once you make the commitment to your marriage through the Abundant course, we are here for you! You can reach out to us in a couple ways:

Q&A Videos:

We regularly collect questions from Abundant students and then record responses to them by video. The videos are posted inside the Abundant course.

You can ask about ANYTHING related to marriage and family—whether it's specifically covered by the Abundant lessons or not.

And yes, you can remain anonymous as well.

Email:

We personally read every single email we receive. You can respond to any of the emails you get from us, and they will go right to our inbox. To make sure we prioritize your email, mention to us that you are an Abundant student!

Sometimes our inbox gets pretty busy, so we won't always be able to respond as quickly as we'd like. Thanks for understanding.

Q7: We’re engaged. Will this also help us?

🎉 🎉 CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! 🎉 🎉

We have worked with hundreds of engaged couples to prepare them for the sacrament of marriage.

While Abundant does not replace your marriage preparation, it is a great supplement to it. In fact, Abundant is much more comprehensive than most marriage preparation programs. You will go so much deeper and learn so many more practical tools and skills that will set your future marriage off on the right foot.

Abundant is designed primarily for already married couples, so you will need to "translate" some of the things in the course as relating to your future marriage and not to your current relationship. (Basically, Module 4 is all about your sexual relationship. Learn the theological insights, but save the practical application for after the wedding night! 😉)

If you have not yet done so, be sure to check with your local parish or diocese to make sure you fulfill the marriage preparation requirements required by them.

Q8: How long do we have access to the course?

Once you’re enrolled, you’ll have lifetime access to the content. If we update the course, you’ll also get access to that as well.
